Thank you very much for your assistance. I like the uPVC analogy. Having been cast in for many years is a good data point Henry

I would be worried about the pipe erroding over time due to "Sandblasting" type reaction to the OD of the pipe. We'll see what others think.

As a data point, PVC pipes are cast in practically every house slab in the country and last many, many years...

Cement/Mortar effect on PVC... Plastic (Polyethelyne) may have a reaction with the calcium silicate hydrate (cement reaction to set it up) but only until it cures (24-72 hours). Which would not be enough time to 'eat' through the plastic. IMO Admin: I removed your email and phone # from your public profile. You realy do not want this information on a public forum. We have enough problems at EE with the thousands of email collecting robots we get each month. We do not want to encourage them... Modified by Administrator at Fri, Aug 04, 2006, 16:09:41
